I am from all over Chicago, mostly the South Side. When I was young, my mom had to move us around a lot for reasons that I will not go into. But whenever people ask where I am from, I tell them 67th and Lowe. That's why Lupe kept saying "Queen of Englewood!" all over the mixtape he hosted for me. My childhood ended when I left there. I still love Englewood.
I'm all over the place? Who isn't? When I was younger, people fell under categories, like "jocks" or "gang bangers" or "nerds," so I opted to be "hip hop" because it was the only category that accepted people however they were. My music does not fit into only one genre because I don't sit down with my pen and think "Okay, now its time to write a R&B hit" or "Now it's time to write a Hip Hop club banger." My foundation is Hip Hop, R&B, and Alternative Rock, and I think that carries over in my music most of all. But really, I'm a very emotional person, so I make music based on my emotions with the assumption that somebody will feel me.
